Genderneutral cocktails

Many people are worried about ‘the right drink‘, one which is socially accepted by their peers. Judgement is old as mankind and something to realize it happens. Another item in this genre are drinks which are gender neutral.

What can you do:

• A menu without description of flavors

• Use neutral names for your cocktails

• No mention of color of the drink

• Serve cocktails in the same glasses

• Help your patron to follow their heart, not the peer-pressure

For some modern establishment, with a certain clientele, these cocktails might work well. Nowadays gender diversity is common. If you feel this is for you, definitely try it.

Personal note:

In this decade I believe gender diversity will be very normal. Personally I find it hard to imagine how this works in the mind of a person, but who am I to judge? I embrace freedom of choice in any sense of the word, but have to keep business in mind. In hospitality I think we can only do so much. We are limited by space, budget and too many guests with an equal amount of opinions. We can never make everyone completely happy so pick your battles.

Sincerely,
